    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 259D(2)(a), I rise to pay tribute to the former Kajiado County Woman Representative, the late Hon. Janet Marania Teyiaa. The late Hon. Janet Teyiaa passed on, on Monday 7th April 2025. The late Hon. Teyiaa was born on 28th September 1980 at Ilkilorit, Kajiado County. She began her education at the Africa Inland Church Kajiado School in 1987 and sat for her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in 1995. She later joined Enoomatasiani Secondary School and completed her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education in 1999. She proceeded to pursue a certificate in Accountancy Technicians in 2022 at the Maasai Technical Training Institute. Noting that she lost her ability to walk at the age of five, she bravely surmounted the obstacles that hinder persons living with disabilities (PWD) becoming a role model to many in her community. The late Hon. Teyiaa built on her success by working on uplifting the status of women and PWDs upon graduation. The late Teyiaa joined politics upon nomination by the National Alliance Party (TNA) to represent the interests of PWDs in the 11th Parliament. She beat all odds and was elected as the County Woman Representative for Kajiado County in 2017. During her tenure in the 12th Parliament, she dedicatedly served in the departmental committees on Labour and Social Welfare and Regional Integration. She was an epitome of resilience and advocated for PWDs in the country, specifically Kajiado County. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
